Observation-Disclosures, In Convention as
sembled we deem it fitting that a declara-

form Party of Hawaii Nei; and,
Whereas, We recognize that the shame
less extravaganza and reckless policy of
the recent government have brought the
Hawaiian nation into deserved disgrace;
and
Whereas 1t is necessary that that t he
national honor be redeemed by securing a
radical reform of the civil service, we do
hereby declare our adherence to the follow
platform:
1. That all unnecessary offices in the
Government be abolished, and that excess
i've salaries be curtailed.
,. That the principles of rigid economy
be applied to every department of the Gov
eminent.
3. That provision be made for the liqui-
datiOn OF the national debt.

nue. of the Kingdom be turned into chan
